ASEAN University Network-Quality Assurance (AUN-QA)
network is a group of Chief Quality Officers (CQOs) appointed
by the AUN member universities as the focal point for
coordinating activities to realise the mission of harmonising
educational standards and seeking continuous improvement
of academic quality of universities in ASEAN. The AUN-QA
activities are carried out by the CQOs in accordance to the
Bangkok Accord adopted in 2000, which provides a series of
guidelines to promote the development of a quality assurance
system as instruments for maintaining, improving and
enhancing teaching, research and the overall academic
standards of AUN member universities. Since the
establishment of the Bangkok Accord in 2000, AUN-QA has
been actively promoting, developing, and implementing
quality assurance practices based on an empirical approach
where quality assurance practices are shared, tested,
evaluated, and improved. The AUN-QA timeline is depicted
below.
